Target
- FunctionConversion of dopamine to noradrenaline.
- PathwayCatecholamine biosynthesis; (R)-noradrenaline biosynthesis; (R)-noradrenaline from dopamine: step 1/1.
- Involvement in diseaseDefects in DBH are the cause of dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency (DBH deficiency) [MIM:223360]; also known as norepinephrine deficiency or noradrenaline deficiency. This disorder is characterized by profound deficits in autonomic and cardiovascular function, but apparently only subtle signs, if any, of central nervous system dysfunction.
- Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the copper type II ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family.
Contains 1 DOMON domain. - Cellular localizationCytoplasmic vesicle > secretory vesicle lumen. Cytoplasmic vesicle > secretory vesicle > chromaffin granule lumen and Cytoplasmic vesicle > secretory vesicle membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle > secretory vesicle > chromaffin granule membrane.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence-Dopamine beta Hydroxylase antibody(ab43868)ICC/IF image of ab43868 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab43868, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. -

Samples were then permeabilized using 0.1% Tween in TBS, blocked with 10% serum for 1 hour at 23°C and then incubated with ab43868 at a 1/200 dilution for 12 hours at 4°C. The secondary used was a biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/200 dilution. -
